hi Patti and welcome to cwb its a great site and everyone is very friendly and generous with their experience so its also a great place to learn. I  noticed you dont know how to add a friend - if you click on the persons profile and you will see under their profile picture an add to friends line just click on it and a message will be sent to them, i've sent you a friends request too if you want to try it out.

hi Patti thanks for the lovely comment, I only started serious cake decorating last year and have found i just love making gum paste flowers, good luck on the stacked cake hope it all goes well.

I love your hay bale cake! How'd you get the coconut to stick? I can't see it sticking well to buttercream... did you add any good coloring to the coconut?
